Trivia
The Warhammer Visions catalogue had an item called "Empire Flagellants"; a group of barbarians holding up, among other things, two little signs saying "Down with this sort of thing" and "Careful Now".

Goofs
Bishop Brennan points to a place in North America on a globe whilst describing a place in South America where he wishes to send Father Ted. This is possibly deliberate on the part of the script-writers (or actor Jim Norton) given the irate state of mind of the character in the scene.

Quotes
Father Ted: [about Reverend Green from Cluedo] Those Protestants, up to no good as usual.

9/10

Bishop Brennan arrives on the island.

A new, blasphemous film has been banned throughout country, but a loophole means it can be shown on Craggy Island, Bishop Brennan is sent to ensure Ted and Dougal make a protest, and show the Church's position.

The scenes at the start with The Cuban Priest are very funny, but the arrival of Bishop Brennan and the premise are both side splitting. He would prove to be the thorn in the side of Ted for many years.

Hilarious, you can see how Father Jack has lasted so long, the way he takes down the Bishop is so funny.

Classic. 9/10
